It came as a surprise that the famous 69-year-old actor Denzel Washington has decided to quit from Hollywood after finishing a few projects. This choice is the end of an amazing career that lasted decades and left an indelible mark on the movie business.
In an interview with Australia’s Today show, Washington talked about his upcoming retirement.
In honor of his long and successful career, Washington is set to play Othello again at the age of 70. He has also said that he wants to work with famous directors like Steve McQueen and Ryan Coogler, who is supposedly writing a part for him in the next Black Panther movie. Washington also talked about working on King Lear before he told everyone, “After that, I’m going to retire.”
Washington’s first job in Hollywood was in the TV movie Wilma in 1977. His first movie role was in the 1981 movie Carbon Copy. He has become a respected actor since then, known for his memorable roles in movies like Glory, Training Day, and Malcolm X. Because of his hard work and skill, he has received a lot of praise and awards.
Washington earlier this year said he would like to be in the sequel to Gladiator, which shows how picky he is about the projects he works on.
As Washington gets ready to leave Hollywood, both fans and colleagues will enjoy his amazing legacy, which includes performances that will never be forgotten and a pledge to always do his best. He will soon be retiring, which is a sign of a successful job that will have a lasting effect on the movie world.
